Fog Light Thoughts...
So I originally got the cheap ebay fog lights for my 2k5 TSX... Total cost was like 50 bucks (i'm pretty cheap) but they actually worked fine and I had no complaints whatsoever. Anyway, I somehow cracked one. I need to get a one, and think i might just buy a whole new set cause it'll only be like 50 bucks again, and from what I can tell, that actual Acura fogs on the 2k6+ break pretty easily anyway. Does anyone have a particular liking to a particular "brand" of fog lights on ebay?
Second question: Nokya Arctic whites, or Hoen H11 Xenon match? Will the temperature of these bulbs affect the potentially crappy housings that I buy from ebay? Does anyone like one more than the other?
Final question: do you think it's worth getting the fog light housing painted (in my case, Milano red)? I think it will look pretty cool, but not sure how expensive it would be.... then again I already have to get a sideskirt painted cause some b*tch hit my car who doesn't have insurance, so i figured i could just order them and have them painted at the same time... I think their primed and ready for paint.
Thoughts?

Woah buddy, there is no need for attitude. It is far more pleasant for you and everyone else if you simply say... "Oh sorry, can I please request that a Mod move this to the proper forum"

Everyone says once you paint the fogs chipping will happen pretty quick.
Im not sure if this is the case with a shop painting, but are fogs get hit by loads of rocks.
I never bought ebay fogs because unsure of the quality, like after 4 years one foglight manage to get cracked, it still works, just unpleasing to look at.
I got h11 their pretty hot when their on i'm so thinking about hid fogs.

Moved to general discussion.
For nice light output on the fogs, I recommend modding some H9 bulbs in your favorite color to fit the H11 sockets. You'll get like 50% more output.
